A Warm Welcome

Hello there Wizards and Pirates alike!

It is I, Blaze
Shadowhorn. As many of you may have
noticed, this past year I was inactive as I had retired from the Kingsisle
gaming community and moved on to focus on school and other things. The thought
of coming back has been in the back of my mind for quite some time. Sadly, I
knew what my priorities were and decided to focus on my schooling and real
life. A little over a week ago, I was looking through my laptop photos looking
for a photo to post on my friends Facebook for his birthday. I came across
something that brought back grand memories. In a sub-folder hidden away, I
found a recording my mom made of when I co-hosted the first episode of my
retired Podcast – Spiral Live alongside co-host Nicholas Lionrider. My, did it
bring back memories.

The next day, my mom and I were talking and she told me the
following, “Do what you want in life. You will only find happiness if you truly
are passionate about something.” This got me thinking. Wizard101 was something
that I had played since 5th grade. If you didn’t know, I’m currently
in 11th. Nearly 7 years of my life I have spent playing both
Wizard101 and Pirate101 and I realized that this is one of the only things that
has always given me unconditional happiness. If I was ever down, I did a few
quests and caught up with many of you. I was telling my friend last week that I
have truly made the best friends throughout my years of playing Wizard101 and
Pirate101. Throughout the past year, I kept in touch with some of you and would
check up on the news once in a blue moon but I’ve missed being a part of the
community and I have realized that this is what I need to do. Blogging,
questing, and just hanging with all of you makes me happy and I so I decided to
make a return to the community to be with all of you. You may be wondering what
is new or going to change on the blog. Well I’ve got a ton of great ideas so
keep reading to see what’s new!

For starters, I want to continue posting a few times
throughout the week. My goal is to post as often as possible and just like the past, the posts will differ between Wizard101, Wizard101
UK, and Pirate101.

I also want to bring back something I used to do – Blog of
the Month. This would be an adapted version of when I used to post about new
blogs to check out. Being a Blog of the Month, you would have a short interview
with me discussing your blog and all it offers. In addition, you would also get
an exclusive Blog of the Month badge, just for you that you can show off on
your blog.

For those of you veteran ToTS readers, remember my old
Fourth of July parties, get-together and quests events and hang outs? Well this
will all be returning! I want to help bring us all together for tons of new
events and parties that I’m sure you will all love. In addition, I am in the
process of working with Christina Icedreamer to bring lots of new amazing
events to the community to help bring us closer together.

Furthermore, have you guys noticed how many new blogs and
fansites there are for both Wizard101 and Pirate101? It’s crazy! I was talking
to Swordroll the other day about how I want to eventually get around to meeting
all of you and get to know you. Not to mention all the new Twizards and
Twirates and community members in general. There are so many new blogs and
people who I want to meet. I’ve started meeting some of you but I can’t wait to
meet the rest of you as time comes!

There is so much more I want to tell you all, but if I said
it all now, there would be no surprises in the future! With that being said, I
can’t wait to get re-adjusted to the community and spend yet another fabulous
year with you all.

Lastly, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who
gave me a warm welcome when I came back. It truly meant the world to me and all
of you made me know for a fact that I made the right choice in coming back. If
you haven’t done so yet, I had to re-create my Twitter so please feel free to follow me at
@BlazeShadowhorn for all the upcoming news and such!
